Hades 2, the sequel to Supergiant Games' hit Roguelike action RPG Hades, has officially entered early access and is already garnering a positive reception. Hades 2 takes the formula that led its predecessor to success and evolves it with changes to gameplay mechanics, as well as a new story with a combination of new and returning characters. Whereas players controlled Zagreus, son of Hades, in the first game, Melinoe, the daughter of Hades and sister of Zagreus, is the primary protagonist in Hades 2. Players familiar with Hades should feel somewhat at home in Hades 2, but they may quickly learn things are quite a bit different this time around as Melinoe is similar to her brother in some ways but can be starkly unique in others.
